This free webinar will deal with the analysis of a Hebrew literary text about the relations between parents and children. We shall read a short story from Israeli children’s literature, define its themes, interpret it by learning and applying the relevant literary terms, and speculate about when it was written. This webinar will be conducted in Hebrew.

We shall then suggest pedagogical methods and didactic directions. The lecture will provide a "taste" of the online course, "Selected Works of Hebrew Literature and Ways to Teach Them", which is taught in the framework of The MOFET Institute's Online Academy for Teaching Jewish Studies and Hebrew. During this course, we present considerations concerning the selection of literary works for various target populations, namely, children, adolescents, and adults. The study process is organized according to genres, themes, and authors. The course offers literary analyses of the works along with fundamental concepts and tools for interpreting literary texts.
